When Will Michael Dell Eat His Words?

When Steve Jobs came back to Apple in 1997 Michael Dell was asked what he would do to save Apple if it were him. His reply?
"What would I do? I’d shut it down and give the money back to the shareholders."
Well, today it’s being reported that Apple has gained 21% of the consumer computer market, and Dell is closing plants and laying people off in order to help the company stay afloat.
I really can’t gloat about this though, knowing that 900 people are losing their jobs, and that that’s just part of the 8,800 total jobs that Dell plans to shed. Ouch.
